What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[yosefu]

I am loving this mix. Its fast and it has great guitar work.:-P

[metalsnakejuice]

This really is a rock solid track that sounds brilliant.

[DrumUltimA]

nice job, princess! It sounds great, I love this track :D

[UchihaVilu]

Great job overall, i just want to complain about the drums, they don't seem like they're "there" sometimes.

[Duokun]

A great mix! It had me slamming through the whole 2 and a half minutes of loveliness.

My only complaint would have to be the guitar from 0:42 to 0:59. It's a minor issue, but I couldn't really "feel" the guitar during that timeframe. I just don't believe it matched the intensity of the drums, so it was more or less drowned out in my opinion.

But all in all, nice job! More, make more!:<

[Turnip]

Ah I had given up hope on this song, I have an old WIP I still listen to; glad I dont have to back it up anymore. Nice work.

[Rozovian]

it's about time this guy got posted. Nice work Joren, welcome to the ranks of posted remixers. :D Weren't you supposed to get posted in n00bfl00d?

Great that you picked an under-remixed game, and it's certainly got attitude. I'll listen and review more in-depth later, I feel I owe you a good review.

[OA]

Seemed like a good chunk of mids was missing, but seriously I was rocking out so much I figured it was there. It wasn't only until the 4th or 5th time listening when I was too exhausted to rock any more, and was laying on the ground did I notice.

Incredibly intense drums, I love it.

4 donkeys in a bathtub out of 5.

[UchihaVilu]

Yeah, i'd give this a definite 4/5 Donkeys.
This mix + Zombie Shooter = hours of fun.

love the arrangement and vibe here - finally some tensei-san on the site!

which brings up another question for me...um not sure how else to put it but isn't joren a girl?!

Gah! I knew my use of the "PrincessTensei" nick on IRC was going to catch up with me some time. Nope, I'm a guy, and I'm European, which explains the weird name :P

Thanks for all the reviews by the way!

[audio fidelity]

ah! - well i've been waiting for a mix to post for ya dude! heh - i like the stuff you put out

[Martin Penwald]

This remix rocks. It sounds like something that could have been part of the F-Zero X OST, and that's always a good thing. The synth, especially from 1:40 on, adds a certain chip-tune-ish flavour, upping the awesome even more.

Great stuff.

[Platonist]

nice mixture of feel here, blending what and what not into a nice soup of delicious... only thing i can say is that i dislike programmed "real-drums" because everything sounds good except the hihats (mostly OFTEN and always)so NOTHING PERSONAL iow...

but also, since im very biased i really like this remix aswell, because Cave Story is so great, it needs to be known by every living soul on the face of the earth... i feel bad for all the generations in the past for not playing this game...

[MechaFone]

Nicely done! I find myself trying to headbang to this, but I stopped doing that crap years ago 'cause it shakes my brain.
Fantastic speed metal-type rock with wave-synths (I think?) Awesome!

[Sir_Downunder]

Awesome.

Just plain awesome.

[Pachi Risu]

Definitely a proven successful ReMix of the "Last Battle" from Cave Story. A nice ReMix, but the only con I have with it is the ending, I didn't find it appropriate at all. Thumbs up for the rest.

[Emunator]

I like the rough-around-the-edges feel of this one, even the synth sounds appropriately dirty for the thrashiness of the song. It definitely doesn't feel as refined as Joren's more recent songs but I think that adds to the charm of this debut piece.

Crazy drums, crazy playing... not much else to say on this one, it's just good :-)

[Im_Just_Shawn]

Epic is all i have to say. Ive been a big cave story fan ever since i found OC remixes for it.

Excellent track +10

[WesternZypher]

Love those rockin' guitars and crashing drums!
